buttheadsmate Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My only concern is people will just think... That Ass*ole has so many minimates... he doesn't need a Gold Vorin on top of it... but having collected mates for 10 years and as aggressively as I have... I feel like it might be the time to show it off. Do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not at all It is probably the moment to say that Highassroller has matured into one of the most interesting posters here & I love seeing other members' collections . My collection is more of a bloody inventory these days & my recent thread was just a parody thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highassroller Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Awww BHM, That warms me heart and make me want to blurt out like Sally Field at the Oscars. I started posting on the OLD MMV site when I was 18, so yeah, 10 years of life (Marriage, Home, Work) has matured me quite a bit. I'll be working on a collection pic for the 10 year contest... really more as a testament to what 10 years of trying to be a completiionist for every line of minimate can create. Unfortunately I have alot of items still back in Chicago, but about 95% of my collection is in my new home. I love my minimates and my collection and hope the community appreciates me sharing and maybe gives me some votes to get one of those Gold Vorins. Just trying to figure out how to get everything in one picture! Have some on shelves, some in individual bags, some in plastic totes, and some in cardboard boxes. I might just take it all down and lay it out flat in the living room and take one picture standing from a chair. I have an opened set for every boxed MIB set too, so I think I might have to decide on just loose or boxed rather than trying to take a pic with 2 of everything.

Mirymate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Darn my utter lack of creativity. Zach's come through with the prizes, but I can't think of a thing. Maybe I could try an Unofficial Handbook of the Marvel Minimate Multiverse, but past that I got nuthin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 So now I am stuck trying to figure out what to post. I would totally recommend you not post collection pics. It would present you as someone who doesn't need a gold Vorin and you wouldn't get any votes. I would recommend you just post some pics of some mates on a toilet or something creative like that that the normal collector could relate to or something. Of course, I say this in all honesty and am not being deceptive to try to better my chances of winning. I would never stoop to that level. Never.

buttheadsmate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Anybody voting for me will definitely not be sent anything by way of bribe or coercion as a small thankyou after I'm installed as a winner,that would be quite wrong .

Mystery Man Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I really want to win one of those blue Vorin's, but with all the customizers on the board, I feel like it'd just be a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 There are lots of things people could do that don't involve any customizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch77 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I really want to win one of those blue Vorin's, but with all the customizers on the board, I feel like it'd just be a waste of time. There are two random drawings as well (one of which has a blue Vorin as a prize) so even a simple entry still has a chance of winning. For example, everyone on this forum is capable of writing a couple sentences, at the very least, about why they like minimates... Minimates rock because .. yada yada yada. Happy 10th Anniversary Minimates! MMMV Rules ^bam! took me 10 seconds and I would have a chance at a prize (if I wasn't staff and running the contest :tongue:) And also if anyone wishes to enter but not be eligible for prizes you can do that as well, just note on your entry post that you're not in running for prizes.

buttheadsmate Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 buttheadsmate's official entry not so official entry DAY ONE....the poem 'Ram a lang a sing song' The trouble with Golden Ram Vorin, Is people want far too much for him, So I think it is best That I win this contest Before I get too bloody boring. I warn you all this will get worse ,vote now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'll take that chance, BHM. My dislike for horrible rhymes is offset by the frustration you'll have coming up with new words that rhyme with Vorin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 NOT my official entry: "An Ode to ole Butthead" There once was a gent named Old Beavis Whose collection could quite make you jealous Until one sunny day When he gave it away Too bad he got stuck with the Kubricks.

Crap that was the fear... my wife is already having a Sh*t Storm anyways seeing me unload my boxes of mates in the living room. As she has a "rule" that my collectables can only be in 2 rooms of the house. (Every young collector will know what I am talking about... if they marry and love a woman.... who has no interest or respect for toys) I will still take a picture of my collection, (Too late to go back now, and I have found if she is already pissed I might as well finish and get her full rage out of her and make it worth my while. I already starting laying them out on the floor), but it won't be for the submission for the 10 year contest. I'll post it in the collections thread.

Shanester Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 No one should bow out of this contest because of a lack of "talent" or creativity. Only laziness will suffice as a valid reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRedShadow Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have an Idea for a stopmotion that in my head seems like a greater invention then minimates themselves but knowing myself I will ruin the idea even more then Michael Bay did with Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesTeenage Alien Ninja's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
